This personal flying machine addresses the need of the select few that are interested in soaring like an eagle. Flight has been a dream throughout history and documented in ancient Greek mythology in the tale of Icarus who fashioned a pair of wings out of wax and feathers that melted after flying to close to the sun.

Fast forward to today and you’ve got the Firebird-R Wingsuit that is made out of the finest of reinforced fabrics. Slide into one of this and you’ll look like a southern flying squirrel allbeit, you’ll be going a heck of a lot faster then any squirrel ever did.

The Firebird-R is a wingsuit which offers an incredible performance range; flat glide ratio and maneuverability combined with harmony and total ease of use. The FIREBIRD ™-R is the first all around wingsuit in the world that has semi-rigid Mylar ribs – every rib. You won’t notice them until you push hard, pull some G’s and take it to your limits. But when the time comes to go for it FIREBIRD -R gives you what you ask for .. and maybe a bit more.
